Broadway

We had a really nice afternoon walking around Broadway just before Christmas. 

 

 

 

 

This old church has been converted into a design museum.

 



 

 

One of the many antique shops in the town

 

 



 

 

The Cotswold stone gives these houses their own particular character

 

 

 

and some of them are quite old so that the stone has mellowed

 

What makes Broadway unusual is the large number of art galleries

 



 

 

 

 

and some of them specialise in contemporary art which is rare in the Cotswolds.

My Gang II, Neil B. Helyard

Reclining Figure, 1980, Henry Moore.

I love Moore's drawings, so seeing this one was a real pleasure

The Farm, L.S. Lowry, (pencil on paper)

Entwined, Chris Webb, (stone)

Luna, Chris Webb, (bronze)

 

Eva, Chris Webb, (bronze)

 

We then moved on to John Noot Contemporary

 

 

 



 

Water Birds, Linda Warwick

 

 

 

 



Perfect symmetry

There are also some very nice gift shops here and we managed to do the last bits of Christmas shopping so we were very pleased about this unexpected outcome

 

When the sun hits the stone it takes on a golden glow

 



  

 

which is extremely attractive
